Embodiment
Below, to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.In addition, following illustrated example is not the unreasonable qualification to the content of being put down in writing in protection scope of the present invention of the present invention, and whole formations of explaining among the embodiment may not all be essential features of the present invention.
1. comparative example
Referring to figs. 1 through Fig. 3, to the comparative example as present embodiment, the situation that will be used for the SERS beam split by the local plasmon resonance body that metal particle causes describes.At first, with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the local surface plasma resonance that is caused by metal particle is described.
As stated, as used high sensitivity such as medical diagnosis and small-sized sensor, more and more tend to use surface plasma body resonant vibration (SPR:Surface Plasmon Resonance: sensor surface plasma body resonant vibration).This sensor is used for through exciting light excitating surface plasma (SP:Surface Plasmon: surface plasma), and utilize the variation of the absorbance of its surface plasma body resonant vibration to come sensing detection attached to the object on the metal surface on the metal surface.Here, so-called surface plasma body resonant vibration is meant because of the intrinsic boundary condition in interface and causes the vibration mode with the electronics dilatational wave of optically-coupled.
As the method that excites this surface plasma, the known method that employing surface relief gratings or prism are arranged.For example, as the sensor of having used surface plasma body resonant vibration, there is the method that adopts total reflection prism.In the method, form metal film on the surface of total reflection prism, and object is contacted with its metal film.And through to total reflection prism incident exciting light, the interface between air and metal film excites the propagation surface plasma, and detects according to the variation of the absorbance that causes because of its propagation surface plasma and to have or not the absorption object.Conducts such as use antigen-antibody reaction make the method for object absorption.
In addition, as the additive method of excitating surface plasma, exist to excite local surface plasma (the LSP:Localized Surface Plasmon: method local surface plasma) that causes by metal particle.In this local surface plasma, excited surface plasma local is on the microstructure that substrate surface forms, and the surface plasma through its local brings out the electric field of remarkable enhancing.It is purpose that motion has to utilize such enhancing electric field to improve transducer sensitivity, utilizes local surface plasma resonance (the LSPR:Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance: sensor local surface plasma resonance) that has adopted metal particle or metal nano structure.
For example, as such sensor, there is the method for above-mentioned patent documentation 1.As shown in Figure 1, in the method, fixing metal particulate 20 on the surface of transparency carrier 10 to these transparency carrier 10 irradiation incident lights, thereby is measured the catoptrical absorbance that has seen through metal particle 20.As shown in Figure 2, when on metal particle 20, being attached with object, be changed to the absorption spectrum shown in A2 from the absorption spectrum shown in the A1.In the method for patent documentation 1, the variation through this absorbance detects near the variation of the medium the metal particle, and detects the absorption or the accumulation of object.
But, in the method, be difficult to make equably size and shape and regular the metal particle of arranging of metal particle.When the size that can not control metal particle and arrangement, the absorption and the resonant wavelength that are produced by plasma resonance have also produced fluctuation.Therefore, as shown in Figure 2, the amplitude of absorption spectrum broadens, and causes peak strength to descend.And if peak strength descends, the signal that then detects near the variation of the medium of metal particle diminishes, thereby in making the transducer sensitivity raising, also produces boundary.Therefore, in the purposes according to the absorption spectrum designated substance, it is not enough that the sensitivity of sensor becomes.
So,, consider to have the sensor is applied to SERS (SERS:Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering: method SERS) as the sensitivity of method that improves sensor.This method is through strengthening Raman diffused light according to surface plasma body resonant vibration, thereby improves the sensitivity of method of Raman spectrum.
But, in the method, because gain in strength so need in two wavelength, improve electric field (following formula (1)) that transducer sensitivity is gained in strength and decided according to the electric field in excitation wavelength (λ 1 shown in Fig. 4 (A)) and Raman scattering wavelength (λ 2).
For example, in existing SERS sensor, owing to only utilize a resonance peak, so must make the wavelength of resonance peak and which consistent wavelength in excitation wavelength or the Raman scattering wavelength.At this moment, can only utilize the electric filed enhanced effect in which the scattering process of wavelength, thereby can not expect high electric filed enhanced effect.
In addition, be applicable to that with sensor the situation of SERS is an example with above-mentioned patent documentation 1.At this moment, in Fig. 2, as stated, and owing to only have the surface plasma body resonant vibration peak value of a broadness, thus need be with respect to excitation wavelength and Raman scattering wavelength, with the set positions of resonance peak in position.That is to say that this is because its resonance peak wavelength is given bigger influence to the enhancing degree of local electric field.Specifically, as shown in Figure 3, with respect to Raman shift, can obtain broader resonance peak.Therefore, as with the resonance peak wavelength set between excitation wavelength and Raman scattering wavelength, then can expect electric filed enhanced effect through these two processes of excitation process and Raman scattering process.But, because resonance peak is broad, thus the weakened that in each process, resonates, thus the enhancing degree of talkative whole process is not sufficient.
2. the method for present embodiment
Thereby, in the present embodiment,, make to produce two resonance peaks, and its two resonance peaks are set at excitation wavelength and Raman scattering wavelength through to metal grating incident incident light obliquely as an example of electric conductor grating, thus the raising transducer sensitivity.Below, the method for this present embodiment is described.At first, the employed Raman scattering optical spectroscopy of present embodiment is described.
Fig. 4 (A) illustrates the key diagram of Raman scattering beam split ratio juris.Shown in Fig. 4 (A), when to the light Lin of the single wavelength of target molecule X (object) irradiation, in scattered light, produce the Raman diffused light Ram that has with the wavelength X in different wavelengths λ 2 of incident light Lin.Energy difference between this Raman diffused light Ram and the incident light Lin is corresponding with the energy of vibrational energy level, rotational energy level and the electron level of target molecule X.Target molecule X is owing to have a distinctive vibrational energy corresponding with its structure, thus the light Lin through the single wavelength of use, thus can the intended target molecule.
For example, when with the vibrational energy of incident light Lin as V1, the vibrational energy of target molecule X as V2, during as V3, is become V3=V1-V2 with the vibrational energy of Raman diffused light Ram.That is to say, because V3 becomes the vibrational energy based on V2, thus pass through to measure the wavelength X 2 of Raman diffused light Ram, thus can intended target molecule X.
In addition, even after the major part of incident light Lin and target molecule X have collided, also have with collide before the energy of identical size.Should be called Rayleigh scattering light Ray by flexible scattered light.When such as with the vibrational energy of Rayleigh scattering light Ray during as V4, V4=V1 then.That is to say that the wavelength X 1 of Rayleigh scattering light Ray is λ 1=λ in.
Fig. 4 (B) illustrates the example of the Raman spectrum of obtaining through the Raman scattering beam split (relation between Raman shift and the Raman scattering intensity).The transverse axis of the curve map shown in Fig. 4 (B) illustrates Raman shift.Raman shift is exactly wave number poor of wave number (vibration number) and the incident light Lin of Raman diffused light Ram, and is at target molecule X and obtains distinctive value under the molecular link state.
Shown in Fig. 4 (B), when the scattering strength with the scattering strength (spectrum peak) of the Raman diffused light Ram shown in the B1 and the Rayleigh scattering light Ray shown in the B2 compares, can know that Raman diffused light Ram is faint.Like this, the Raman scattering optical spectroscopy is that the recognition capability of target molecule X is remarkable, and the low assay method of sensitivity of sensing detection target molecule X itself.Therefore, in the present embodiment, the optical spectroscopy of use SERS is realized the high sensitivityization of sensor.
In order to realize using the highly sensitive surface plasma resonance sensor of this SERS, the enhancing degree of preferred local electric field (below, suitably economize slightly enhancing degree) big as far as possible.Enhancing degree α is with following formula (1) expression (M.lnoue, K.ohtaka, J.phys.Soc.Jpn., 52,3853 (1983)).Here, α ray is the excitation wavelength enhancing degree of (equating with the Rayleigh scattering wavelength), and α ram is the enhancing degree of Raman scattering wavelength.
α=αray×αram (1)
According to following formula (1), in the enhancing degree that improves the SERS process, need improve enhancing degree and these two enhancing degree of the enhancing degree in the Raman scattering process in the excitation process simultaneously.Therefore, as shown in Figure 5 in the present embodiment, near two strong resonance peaks of generation excitation wavelength and Raman scattering wavelength only.Through like this,, thereby can significantly improve the reinforced effects of local electric field according to the effect that multiplies each other of two scattering processes.
3. constitute example
With reference to Fig. 6 to Fig. 9, near the formation example of the present embodiment of two resonance peaks of generation excitation wavelength and Raman scattering wavelength is described.In addition, below since with each inscape as the size that on accompanying drawing, can discern degree, so that the size of each inscape and ratio are suitably different with the size and the ratio of reality.
Fig. 6 is the routine stereographic map of formation of the sensor chip (optical device, electric conductor grating) of present embodiment.This sensor chip is to utilize surface plasma body resonant vibration and SERS to detect the chip of object (target substance, target molecule) usefulness, and it comprises base material 100 (substrate), the first projection crowd 110.This sensor chip is to have the periodic metal grating of one dimension.
In addition, below, though be that the situation of the metal grating that forms with metal describes with sensor chip, be not limited thereto in the present embodiment.That is to say, sensor chip so long as the grating that forms by electric conductor get final product, such as also being the grating that forms by semiconductor (for example polysilicon).
Specifically, base material 100 comprises Ag (silver) or Au metals (sensu lato electric conductor) such as (gold), for example, forms quadrangle or circular tabular.The first projection crowd 110 goes up by the cycle configuration at the first direction D1 along the plane (sensu lato face) of base material 100, and such as by forming with base material 100 same metal.Here, the plane of base material 100 is such as being the surface 120 at the base material 100 that is formed with the first projection crowd, 110 sides.
More particularly, the cross sectional shape of each projection of the first projection crowd 110 on the orientation D1 of projection begins to form convex form from the surface 120 of base material 100.Convex form is rectangle, trapezoidal or arc etc.For example, as shown in Figure 6, observe from the vertical view of overlooking base material 100, the first projection crowd 110 forms the parallel striated of second direction D2 with direction D1 quadrature.
Fig. 7 illustrates the sectional view of the sensor chip of present embodiment.The cross section of this sectional view is the face vertical with the plane of base material 100, and it is the parallel face of orientation D1 with the first projection crowd 110.As shown in Figure 7, with the normal direction on the plane of base material 100 as direction D3.
Base material 100 forms metallic film 140 on glass substrate 130.For example, the thickness of metallic film 140 is more than or equal to 150nm.The first projection crowd's 110 cross sectional shape is rectangle (essentially rectangular), and the projection of height H 1 is arranged with period 1 P1 along direction D1.Through this metallic film 140 and the first projection crowd 110, be formed with metal grating 150 (the metal sag and swell in cycle).Cycle P1 preferably sets the scope at 100nm to 1000nm, the scope that height H 1 preferably sets at 10nm to 100nm.
Incident comprises the incident light of rectilinearly polarized light in this sensor chip.The direction of polarized light of rectilinearly polarized light (polarized light orientation) is with respect to the parallel direction with the direction D1 face parallel with direction D3.This incident light is to metal grating 150 incident obliquely that is made up of the metallic film 140 and the first projection crowd 110.Specifically, when with the pitch angle during as θ, θ>0 then, in cross section shown in Figure 7, the angle between the reverse direction of incident direction and direction D3 (with respect to the angle towards the vertical line on the plane of base material 100) makes incident light incident for the mode of θ.
In addition; In above-mentioned, though to rectilinearly polarized light with respect to being illustrated, in the present embodiment with the direction D1 parallel situation of face parallel with direction D3; Rectilinearly polarized light can be non-parallel with respect to above-mentioned also, as long as and comprise and above-mentioned parallel polarized light component.In addition, in above-mentioned, though be employed in the formation that has formed metallic film 140 on the glass substrate 130 as base material 100, present embodiment is not limited thereto.For example, the base material 100 of present embodiment also can form metallic film on quartz base plate or sapphire substrate.In addition, also can use the flat board that constitutes by metal as base material 100.
Fig. 8 illustrates the characteristic example of the intensity of reflected light of sensor chip.Fig. 8 is forming metal grating by Ag; Light is 3 degree with respect to the incident angle θ of metal grating, the groove direction D2 quadrature of polarisation of light light direction and metal grating, and the cross section of projection is rectangle (essentially rectangular); Cycle P1 is 500nm, the characteristic example when height H 1 is 20nm.In addition, transverse axis is represented catoptrical wavelength, and the longitudinal axis is represented intensity of reflected light (with respect to the ratio of incident intensity).
As shown in Figure 8, there are two surface plasmon polariton (SPP:Surface Plasmon Polariton: resonance peak surface plasmons) in the metal grating of present embodiment.For example, a resonance peak is positioned near the wavelength 515nm, and another resonance peak is positioned near the wavelength 555nm.Through making these two resonance peaks, thereby can expect bigger enhancing Raman scattering effect near coincidence (perhaps consistent) excitation wavelength and the Raman scattering wavelength.For example, when the argon laser with wavelength 515nm was used as excitation wavelength, (Raman shift 1200 was to 1600cm can to make near the Raman diffused light of wavelength 555nm -1) strengthen strongly.
In addition, as the object that present embodiment was suitable for, such as pathogen such as rare molecule such as imaginary Poison, alcohol and remains of pesticide, viruses.
4. the establishing method of resonance peak wavelength
With reference to Fig. 9, the establishing method of two resonance peak wavelength is described.At first, the function to the sensor chip of present embodiment describes.
When the grating face of light incident sensor chip, through the concavo-convex generation surface plasma of grating.In the present embodiment, with respect to the grating face of sensor chip from the vergence direction incident light.This incident angle θ is (for example 10 degree below) several times.When making the groove direction quadrature of polarization of incident light light direction and grating,, excite electromagnetic vibration along with the vibration of the free electron in the metal grating.Because the vibration of this electromagnetic vibration effect free electron, so form the system that both vibrate that has been coupled, be surface plasmon polariton.
This surface plasmon polariton is propagated along the surface of sensor chip.Specifically, surface plasmon polariton is propagated along the interface between air and the metal grating, and near metal grating, excites stronger local electric field.The coupling of surface plasmon polariton is responsive to light wavelength, and its coupling efficiency is high.And, when grating surface such as being adsorbed with one during to several objects, SERS will take place therefrom.Like this, excite the enhancing electric field through surface plasmon polariton, thereby and manifest SERS through the interaction that strengthens electric field and object by incident light as the air borne pattern.In the present embodiment, can make the narrowed width of intensity of reflected light spectrum, make two resonance peaks sharp-pointed.Through like this, can realize improving transducer sensitivity, and realization can be according to the sensor chip of SERS spectrum intended target thing.
Fig. 9 illustrates the key diagram of the shooting conditions of surface plasmon polariton.The dispersion plot of C1 presentation surface plasmon polariton shown in Figure 9 (for example, the dispersion plot on the boundary surface of air and Au), C2 representes light.In Fig. 9, with cycle of metal grating as P1, the wave number 2 π/P1 of grating vector at this moment is shown on transverse axis.
At first, the relation between metal grating and the shooting conditions is described.When with the wave number of incident light as ki, with incident angle during as θ, the orientation of metal grating (direction D1 shown in Figure 7 or-wave number of D1) an evanescent wave (evanescent wave) is 2 π/P1 ± kisin θ.Surface plasmon polariton is excited when the wave number of the wave number 2 π/P1 ± kisin θ of this evanescent wave and surface plasma is consistent.That is to say that the shooting conditions of surface plasmon polariton is represented through the intersection point between the dispersion plot of straight line and the surface plasmon polariton of the formation condition of expression evanescent wave.
The C3 of Fig. 9 illustrates the comparative example as present embodiment, is illustrated in the straight line of the formation condition of the evanescent wave when the vertical incident light (θ=0) of metal grating.Shown in the C3 of Fig. 9, the wave number of evanescent wave is at this moment represented with 2 π/P1.This straight line C3 is the line that upwards prolongs from the beam location of grating vector, and intersects with the dispersion plot C1 of surface plasmon polariton.At this moment, intersection point is one, and a frequencies omega 0 (angular frequency) only appears in resonance peak.
C4 and C5 illustrate the straight line of the formation condition of expression evanescent wave in the present embodiment.When to the light resemble the present embodiment during with angle θ (θ>0) incident metal grating, the wave number of evanescent wave is represented with 2 π/P1 ± kisin θ.Straight line C4 is corresponding with 2 π/P1+kisin θ, and straight line C5 is corresponding with 2 π/P1-kisin θ.These straight line C4 and straight line C5 are the lines that prolongs to oblique upper with angle θ from the position of the wave number of grating vector, and intersect at 2 with the dispersion plot C1 of surface plasmon polariton.Therefore, resonance peak frequency of occurrences ω+and these two of frequencies omega-(corresponding with wavelength X p1 and wavelength X p2 respectively).
In the present embodiment, utilize the shooting conditions of above-mentioned surface plasmon polariton, set two resonance peak wavelength X p1 and wavelength X p2, and these two resonance peak wavelength are used for SERS.Specifically, at first, obtain dispersion plot C1 (L.Li and C.W.Haggans J.Opt.Soc.Am., A10,1184-1189 (1993)) through rigorous couple-wave analysis (RCWA:Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis, rigorous couple-wave analysis).Dispersion plot C1 is an intrinsic curve in the cross sectional shape of metal species, medium class, metal grating.Then, the grating cycle P1 and the incident angle θ that expect according to the Raman shift decision of object.That is to say, with the first resonance peak wavelength X p1 be set in excitation wavelength (Rayleigh scattering wavelength) near, with the second resonance peak wavelength X p2 (λ p2>λ p1) be set in the Raman scattering wavelength near.And with the intersection point of straight line C4 through dispersion plot C1 and ω=ω+(λ=λ p1), straight line C5 sets grating cycle P1 and incident angle θ through the mode of the intersection point of dispersion plot C1 and ω=ω-(λ=λ p2).
Like this, the incident angle θ of material that can be through setting metal grating or shape, height H 1, grating cycle P1, light, thereby the value of setting the wavelength X p1 and the wavelength X p2 of two resonance peaks for expection.
So,, when surface plasma body resonant vibration only has the resonance peak of a broadness, have and be difficult in the whole process of SERS, obtain the problem of sufficient electric filed enhanced effect as described in the above-mentioned comparative example.
About this point, as shown in Figure 7, the optical device of present embodiment has the first projection crowd 110, and this first projection crowd arranges with period 1 P1 through the direction D1 that the projection edge of electric conductor is parallel with the plane of base material 100 (sensu lato imaginary plane).Go into the light (wavelength X, incident angle θ) that direction that directive tilts with respect to the vertical line towards the plane of base material 100 is advanced the first projection crowd 110 who arranges with this period 1 P1.As shown in Figure 9, through this incident light, in the first resonance peak wavelength X p1 and the second resonance peak wavelength X p2, produce surface plasma body resonant vibration respectively.At this moment, as shown in Figure 8, the first resonance peak wave band BW1 that comprises the first resonance peak wavelength X p1 comprises the excitation wavelength lambda 1 in the SERS.The second resonance peak wave band BW2 that comprises the second resonance peak λ p2 comprises the Raman scattering wavelength X 2 in the SERS.

According to the foregoing description, can in the whole process of SERS, improve the electric field enhancing degree.That is to say; Through comprise the mode of wavelength X 1, wavelength X 2 with two resonance peak wave band BW1, BW2; Setting cycle P1, incident angle θ etc., thus electric field enhancing degree and the electric field enhancing degree in the Raman scattering wavelength X 2 in the excitation wavelength lambda 1 can be improved.
In addition, according to the foregoing description, the incident angle θ of material through suitable change metal grating or cross sectional shape, cycle P1, height H 1, light, thus can make the position of two resonance peaks consistent with arbitrary value with at interval.Therefore, the light wavelength λ in that shines in the time of can suitably being chosen in the intended target thing, and can expand the width of measuring wavelength coverage.
In addition, in the present embodiment, Raman scattering wavelength X 2 is to be longer than the wavelength of excitation wavelength lambda 1 (λ 2>λ 1).
In view of the above, can in the Stokes composition and anti-Stokes composition of Raman diffused light, measure the bigger Stokes composition of scattering strength.In addition, in the present embodiment, also can use the anti-Stokes composition of λ 2<λ 1.

In view of the above, the dilatational wave through rectilinearly polarized light free electron plasma is to the direction inductor along direction D1, thereby can excite the surface plasma of propagating along the first projection crowd's 110 orientation D1.
In addition, in the present embodiment,, on the first projection crowd's 110 end face 220, also can comprise the second projection crowd 200 who forms by metal as stating after carrying out among Figure 12 etc.And the second projection crowd 200 also can the edge and the parallel plane direction D1 of base material 100, with the second round P2 shorter than period 1 P1 (P2<P1) arrange.

Shown in figure 10, a peak value in two resonance peaks is positioned at wavelength 545nm, and another peak value is positioned at wavelength 600nm.Through making near this two resonance peaks coincidence excitation wavelength and Raman scattering wavelength, thereby can obtain the signal of stronger SERS.
In the metal grating that forms by this Au, to compare with the metal grating that forms by Ag shown in Figure 8, the wavelength of two resonance peaks is different, and resonance peak is wide slightly, and resonance peak shoals.But, compare with the situation of only utilizing a resonance peak, it is remarkable extraordinarily that enhanced surface strengthens the effect of Raman scattering signal.In addition, through using Au, thereby can suppress the surface deterioration that causes because of oxidation or sulfuration etc.In addition, as shown in Figure 8, when using Ag, to compare with Au, resonance peak is narrow dark.Therefore, compare, can further improve the reinforced effects of the signal of SERS with Au.
